Siddarth Anand is back in the director's seat after giving us Salaam Namaste.This time,Saif Ali Khan plays Rajveer Singh aka RV who is a successful race car driver.He is joined by his wive Radhika aka Shona(played none other by Rani Mukherji) and their two children,Champ and Princess.
The first half we see RV having a rags to riches story from being a tyre changer to a successful race car driver.He is joined by Billy from "Speeding Saddles",a disintegrating race company.He also falls in love with Radhika and we see their courtship to their eventual marriage.Following that they have 2 kids and a wonderful house and a wonderful life.
So that's that right? Apparently not.RV's career takes a turn for the worst when he gets involved in an accident during one of his racing stints.One year later,he attempts to get back into the racing game but memories from his accident still haunt him to this day.He eventually gets fired from Speeding Saddles.Money is now suddenly a big issue and the family of five (of course the would have to include a pet dog wouldn't they?)have to experience to live the hard life.
The first half is filled with racing scenes (surprisingly well done)and as mentioned we see the courtship of Saif and Rani complete with two songs "Ab to Forever" and "Hey Shona".Second half we see the family of five living the hard life but yet ending the day with a positive outlook on life,that tomorrow will be a better day.
The film picks up toward the second half.The family of four (excluding Bruno,the dog) have good chemistry together.Saif and Rani,two strong performers together with the two children entertain us throughout.Its a feel good movie that ought to be watched with the whole family.Siddarth is still clearly missing his "Salaam Namaste" days where Javeed recycles his jokes and the restaurant manager from SN is also back in this film.Is this film hard hitting?No.But nonetheless,you are sure to have a good time.
